Description
Black-and-white photograph of four men spraying trees in an orchard. On verso of photo: "Keeping an orchard healthy called for a lot of work. It meant spraying, dusting, pruning, irrigating, or some other form of attention almost the year around. Deer sometimes proved pests to orchardists in the foothill areas, but brown rot, shot hole borer, leaf curl, San Jose scale, and oak root fungus evoked a lot more profanity. This photo shows a spray crew at work in an orchard, a common sight in the valley every year just before the trees came into bloom and foliage."
